...Mussolini & Balbo, the ten-day program including major Mohammedan homage at the Arch of Triumph* newly erected at the halfway point on the motor road, then opening of the annual Tripoli Sample Fair by Il Duce. a dash by air almost up to the French frontier, a performance of Oedipus Rex in the ancient Roman amphitheatre near Tunisia, and finally a second grand Italian day & night naval review with plenty of Fascist fireworks.
